    Oops, I meant to say: "But if you have a small dream and a *big grind*, you're much more likely to get it done"

    Scale back the "dream" and scale up the "grind". And of course, modularize. "If you have a big dream and a small grind, you'll never accomplish the dream. But if you have a small d…

    Wow, another library (react-location) that shows TypeScript as its primary documentation language. And I see more and more jobs hiring for TypeScript developers. I see Microsoft's …

    I certainly shall, now that you mention it. Hopefully it will help me put my mind at ease. (I look to Lao Tzu on this... on maintaining internal peace and intention towards abundan…

    I think acceptance and comfortability with error messages (i.e. small failures nearly every step of the way) is the basis of one's career as a developer. We start knowing almost no…

    Yep. A year ago, I worked 2.5 months, and quit, and the cash I had from those 2.5 months kept be afloat for about 9 months after leaving the company. Granted, I am super frugal, mi…

    I actually failed many times. I just kept trying. After that trip to Alaska, where I studied some JS (ember, knockout), I went to Oregon, interviewed for frontend web dev jobs but …

    I don't recommend reasoning from a position of exercising one's ideology. "You shouldn’t have to spend months living in tents, working part time, to develop an in-demand skill." On…

    Indeed. While teaching myself web development I spent 4 months in a tent (Texas), then later 2 months in a tent (Alaska), and later 2 more months in a tent (Oregon). In the first t…
